Check in was flawless. Service in the Windjammer, wonderful (especially greeters Cecilio from Philippines & Martin from Jamaica). Main dining room was a mixed bag. The waiters and assistant waiters were awesome (Jonnalynn and Grace from Philippines). I did not appreciate the suits at the entrance where you check in for a table. We had "My Time Dining" and were told several time that you could not ...
Pros: Low price/good value, most staff, especially cabin steward and bar staff, itinerary.
Cons: Entertainment was poor, buffet food was poor and very odd choices, customer service staff. Entire cruise geared toward Europeans.
Specifics:
Room: we had 2 balcony cabins and 1 inside cabin for my family members- the inside cabin was bigger than the balconies. No matter, as Marta, our ...
My husband and I have sailed on Carnival, Royal Caribbean, and Norwegian Cruise Lines. We felt it was time to experience the Celebrity difference.
We chose this itinerary because we fell in love with Bermuda when we sailed on the Norwegian Gem from Boston pre-pandemic. We flew from Toronto to Newark and stayed three nights in Manhattan prior to this cruise. We did our proctored rapid tests in ...
7 nights from Athens to Barcelona.
Boarding in Athens - hot! Now yes - it’s Greece in the middle of summer - however the terminal is a huge marquee. There were air con units but they were not really making much difference. If we had been able to board at our allocated time then we would not have been there long, but everyone seemed to think they can just turn up when they want and Princess ...
Everything was perfect for this cruise, I could not it fault in any aspect.
Having last travelled with Celebrity to the Canaries in 2017 which was brilliant in every way, we thought the company would not be able to achieve such high levels of service throughout.
Well they did!
From the moment we boarded to our very last steps off the ship, the welcome, friendliness and sheer work ethic ...
The Caribbean Princess needs to be remodeled or taken out of service. It is dated and subpar. The pools did not get cleaned with a filter (as standard on land) and by the 3rd day all pools were murky and had a sheen of body oil and sunscreen.
The service was good with exceptional staff at the Wheelhouse Bar and Lotus Spa. The cruise was very short staffed but the crew that was present did a ...
I was hesitant about going on a cruise during this pandemic. But being vaccinated and boosted I felt safe. Also, knowing the entire staff was vaccinated and masked the whole time was comforting. The entire staff was wonderful, the ship was clean and met all our needs. The ship was constantly being cleaned. The entertainment was just wonderful. The food was exquisite and the portions were ...
My wife and I just returned from an 11 day cruise/tour on the Royal Princess. Our cruise/tour stated on land in Fairbanks and we stayed in the Princess Lodges during the land portion. We had hoped that going in July would have resulted in a cruise/tour with clear skies a warm days but that was not the case. For the most part it was cold and wet the majority of the time with temperatures in the ...
My husband and I chose this cruise for our Golden (50th) wedding Anniversary as we had cruised with Celebrity on Silhouette before and knew the suite that we wanted having stayed in it before so wanted to stay in this again for this special occasion as we knew the quality of the staterooms, food and staff efficiency and friendliness. We certainly were not disappointed as they excelled in all ...
My land tour was cancelled at the last minute and I had to find an alternative. Hurtigruten was all I could find but it is little more than a passenger ferry and an expensive one at that! I could have bought a new car for what I paid Hurtigruten and they‘nickel and dime’ their passengers for everything from extortionate alcohol prices to expensive bus ride excursions which passengers could do ...
